Tata Motors launched Nano Facelift and Nano CNG – emax

The new Tata Nano is more exciting than ever as the car now comes with a range of new features through the 2013 edition. The 2013 Nano was unvieled yesterday at Tata Motors’ Pimpri factory by Mr. Karl Slym, the MD of the Indian car maker. Poor sales of Tata Nano is likely to improve by a small bit due to the addition of customer centric features through the latest refresh. On the sidelines of the launch of 4 refreshed car models, Tata Motors announced Horizonext, an aggressive customer focused strategy for its passenger vehicle business.
